Subject: [Bluez-devel] bt.headset issue


Hello,
I got the new bluez-utils-3.8 and saw the new "audio" folder in it. Compilation led to the binary "bt.headsetd" amongst others. I remember that "headsetd" was part of btsco (now plugz) . A little google made me come up to this http://bluetooth-alsa.sourceforge.net/future.html

Anyways, tried to test the bt.headsetd but got errors as:


kernel@xcaliber:~/development/bt/bluez-utils-3.8/audio$ ./bt.headsetd -n -c 1
bt.headsetd[24787]: Bluetooth Headset daemon
bt.headsetd[24787]: Registering failed: Method "RegisterService" with signature "sss" on interface "org.bluez.Manager" doesn't exist


My question is
1. Has the new bluez-util integrated btsco ??
2. What am i missing to get this error ??

I am stuck up and think am missing something obvious. Plz help me.

Thanks in advance.

cheers,
Nel

No. Well, at least not yet. It's possible that the API described in the
"future" pages of bluetooth-alsa.sf.net will get integrated to
bluez-utils at some point. However, the plan is to call the daemon
bt.audiod then. bt.headsetd is purely an experimental thing currently
(and not really useful for anything yet) and the D-Bus API it implements
is still undergoing a lot of change.

The Service interface (implemented by hcid) that bt.headsetd uses is
marked as experimental and you need to therefore give the -x switch to
hcid in order to enable it.
